Hi heather,

My name is rhondell, I got on depo when I was in high school I am 27 years old now. I stopped depo when I was 21 and i got pregnant three months after stopping. I carried my baby until 7 months and then I lost my baby he was still born. this happened july 17th of 2000. I got my period in august and was pregnant again in september of 2000. May 12 2001 i gave birth to a baby boy 7 pounds and 1 ounce. (very healthy). Now I am not completely sure if having a still born was a result of being on depo but I was very healthly and it was a great shock to my doctors because there was no sign of any thing being wrong with me or the baby. I recently got married on July 22, 2006. My husband is in the military and in medical school so I got back on depo. The plan was to get the shot at least 2 time so that by the time he graduates (september 2007) we would be ok (no stress)but I am starting to have symptoms such as headaches, nausea, always tired, and eating every thing in sight. I don't think that I am pregnant even though these are some of the sign but the funny thing is I got these symptoms when I stopped the shot. I was due for my second shot the end of January beginning of Febuary(2007), so I know I am not pregnant or atlease I think I am not theres always that 1 percent chance. I say all of that to say this. You will be able to have another baby just don't think about it, what happens is you will start to stress from worring and you will never get pregnant stressing. My husband and I are actully tring now to get pregnant but I have to wait until I recieve my period. Good luck to you and yours. Stay in prayer for a healthy baby.
P.s. This will be my third time getting the depo shot and each time it only took 2-3months before I recieved a regular cycle.
